CYCLES SENNOR ROAD BIKE Early 1930s 55cm ridden by pro rider Georges Coupry
Seat Tube (ctc): 55cm (21.5in)
Top Tube (ctc): 55cm (21.5in)
This is a wonderful French road bike from the early 1930s – it belonged to Georges Coupry who lived in Marseille and who was best known as a rider of six-day track races. The stem on its left-hand side is engraved with his name. The bike is beatifully detailed and built – most is I think fillet brazed., The front brake has anchor supports for the brake shoes andthere is a chain oiler built into the seat tube. The brakes are Bowden and the hubs marked Cycles Sennor. It is believed the rims are original – the wheels have been rebuilt and the stem has been replated but other than repacking of bearings the rest looks beautifully original. Truly stunning. Just like Tour de France bikes pre1937. £1150

COLNAGO SUPER 1968–70
Seat Tube (ctc): 56cm (22in)
Top Tube (ctc): 56cm (22in)
Early Colnago frames are really uncommon for the simple reason they were built in very small numbers. Lots more information about early Colnagos can be found at:

The Super as I understand it was introduced in late 1968 and this frame in its original paint and decals dates I think from then or possibly the following year. It has the early foil head and seat tube C logo transfers which were not used after 1969. The other decals – seat tube bands and down tube Colnago decals are varnish fix. The bottom bracket shell has the correct drilling pattern for 1968. Many might argue that the braze-ons have been added later – I think not the two top tube cable stops are identical the gear wire stop on the chainstay. And the bottle cage braze-ons are identical to those on another pre-1970 Super. I would guess a lot of details were being experimented with – the concave shape to the top of the seatstays is shorter and smaller than the others I have seen from this period.
However the equipment that can be dated is from 1970 – the rear derailleur is marked 1970 and the brakes are the first engraved type. The Cinelli stem is the first pattern 1A with 7mm expander bolt and hex nut bar clamp but is anodised. The Giro D’Italia bars are not anodised. The Record chainset is the early 144mm BCD non-dated road type. Its all in excellent order especially being now 43 years old. There is one paint scrape to the nearside of the top tube and there are a few touch-ups to the paint on that side. This is a truly exceptional time warp Colnago which is almost one of the very earliest Supers – and the Supers were what started Ernesto Colnago off into the big time. I think there is only one other 1968–70 Colnago Super known its original paint and decals.
